Best way to kill zombies.
Aug 28 2010, 1:01 PM EDT | Post edited: Aug 28 2010, 1:01 PM EDT
What would be the best way to kill a zombie? Consider all types. The raging human types, the genetically superior types, the rapidly mutating types, the super cell type, and any other variations of a Zombie. Any serious contributions are appreciated. Do you find this valuable?

The best way to kill any kind of zombie is brain surgery using a hot piece of lead.

Actually, in many cases, the brain is already damaged byond repair, or in the case of a super cell zombie, a brain is unessecary. in the case of a rapidly mutating zombie, the brain can heal immediately or a new one is grown like a regenerating lizard's tail.

Not trying to poke fun but where are you getting your zombie types from? Are you talking about a video game or actual scientifically possible zombies?

These are all hypothetical. some are from movies and stuff yeah but they seem very possible. Not probable or practical, but possible and scientifically correct. but of course, there are not real names for them so i make it up.

i think the best way would be decapitation
PS: brain cells don't regenerate because of the potential damage it could make

Well conventional zombies where it is an infected, but still clinically alive human being, but you know, the infection doesnt have to make a human brain, it just has to make something that could control the body. Anything from a neural network to phototropisms would work (although not as efficiently)

brain is neccesary to operate human body
can heal immediately? possible but it still needs resources to heal which will deplete before he could heal his head.
And brain cells do regenerate, but not all of them
if ywanna live forever, north korea has invented a super drink which causes all brain cells to regen
also some fruit help too^^

Well yeah. it would be a huge use of the zombie's internal resources. and the zombie would probably forget everything it learned if it could learn before. but its better for the infection than staying dead forever.

Don't we heal immedietly? Besides can your body heal if your head is not corrdinating it? Do you find this valuable?

Yeah you can heal without your brain but you cant coordinate muscle movement. Also, i meant that they would finish healing super fast, but also using up a lot of its energy in the process

Cell replication is not controlled by the brain, it is controlled by each cell individually (thats why cancer exists)

Yep so if they shot the brain of the zombie, and it was the classic clinically alive zombie that is infected, the infection would remain alive and virulent in the body, eating the dead body and still being able to infect others

anything that can regen that fast would need to be burnt or otherwise hurt throughout their body, which would be bad since zombies traditionally are able to ignore pain and would thus continue to attack you whilst on fire. however, we tend to mostly focus on ragers, and the classic corpseromero, because we have yet to see biological realism in the other types. One will never, for instance, see a tank attack them, due to the many problems with such a creature in bulk alone. Do you find this valuable?

a "tank" can exist, and its no stretch of the mind to figure out how....
1. there are drugs out that enhances bone density for women, it could be modified to super harden a regular persons bones.
2. i remember that some sort of dog had a genetic defect that allowed its muscles to develop much larger than normal, it might be possible to engineer something that can take the "limiters" off us as well.

combine the 2 traits and you have a tanker, see simple

Also, if it is a type of zombie known as a super cell infection, the super cell can enhance it's host and make them a tanker, one with fast regen, and many other adaptations.

kick them down a volcano. an impossible solution for an impossible problem. super regeration is biologicly impossible, simple as that. Do you find this valuable?

Basically, the zombies would fall within two specific types.

1) Biological Cause - These kinds of zombies would still ultimately be "alive", so the best ways to kill them would be the best ways to kill a normal human being, but with any special characteristics accounted for. Example: A real life tank that gains its size & strength via the means jdi35 hypothesized. It's still ultimately alive, so the best means of killing it would be to figure out its vulnerable spots and target whichever spot has the least natural armor. Probably the head in most cases, but center mass could be the better choice in other "types"

2) Supernatural cause - You can't really theorize much on these kinds of zombies, because they would break so many biological principals simply by existing.

Super cells are not supernatura, the exsist already, but they are not virulent at all. and super regeneration is possible, but requires an extreme metabolic rate. and all the "supernatural" infections in this thread does not break any biological principles. They all are either archea, eukarya, or bacteria.

Move in the opposite direction and let some one else spend their time, energy, and supplies to kill it. Do you find this valuable?
